Love Your Wives as Christ Loved the Church


So I was just listening to an excerpt from John Piper's sermon "Marriage: Pursuing Conformity to Christ in the Covenant." John talks about how husbands should love their wives as Christ loved the church. This was wisdom that Mario's dad passed on to him years ago. It has been such a blessing to me that Mario has taken this advice so seriously. So much of the character of God and Christ in particular has been shown to me by the example of my husband. Through all of my moods and grudges and seeking out "fairness," Mario has been patient and has chosen to view me as blameless. His never-ending patience and pursuit of my heart has opened my eyes to the desire of God for my heart. Thank you Mario. :) I love you so much!
